Peel off the protective film from the double-sided tape and attach the front camera to the windshield behind the rear-view mirror.

B-1 Optional GPS receiver: Plug in the GPS receiver and attach it in a corner of the windshield. Tuck the cable into the windshield trim using the pry tool.

Adjust the angle of the lens by rotating the body of the front camera. We recommend pointing the lens slightly downwards (≈10° below horizontal), so as to record video with a 6:4 road to background ratio.

Peel off the protective film from the double-sided tape and attach the Infrared interior camera to the front or rear windshield. Adjust the angle of the lens by rotating the body of the camera.

Turn on the engine. The BlackVue dashcam will power up and start recording. Video files are stored on the microSD card. When the microSD card fills up, the newest video files will start to replace the oldest video files (called loop recording) – so you will always have the most recent video files.

Note

– There are 3 recording modes: Normal, Event and Parking. The dashcam starts recording in normal mode, switches to event mode when an impact is detected, and switches to parking mode if the vehicle is stationary for 5 minutes. For parking mode recording, a Parking Mode Battery Pack (Power Magic Battery Pack) or a Parking Mode Hardwiring Kit (Power Magic Pro) is required.

– When you run the dashcam for the first time the firmware is automatically loaded onto the microSD card. After the firmware has been loaded onto the microSD card you can customize settings using BlackVue Viewer on a computer.
